Can I jinx the 10-0 Rays? Ivy Ceballo/ TB Times

Picks of the Day, 4/11

Three straight days going 2-1, and I’m on the comeback trail. 13-16 on the season. I should have picked the Guardians moneyline instead of the run line, but I got greedy. I don’t count the reach picks toward my record. So far I’ve had pretty good luck with them, but yesterday all three aces in […]

Picks of the Day, 4/10

Thanks to an onslaught of late scoring and extras innings in Cleveland, I ended up 2-1 yesterday and improved to 11-15 on the season. Unfortunately for the Braves fan in me, Dylan Dodd looked awful iin Atlanta and my under pick missed by a mile. On the right track again, here we go Pick#1 Yankees […]

Betting against Jose Berrios today will hopefully get me back on track. Berrios has been well below average since coming to Toronto at the end of 2021 The Canadian Press

Picks of the Day, 4/8

Anybody that tells you they are good at gambling is full of crap. Somehow, I managed to go 0-3 yesterday, and I’m now 7-13 on the season. Good news is, I’ve done pretty well this week with basketball, and hockey…which doesn’t help me here.If you bet on KC beating San Fran 3-1 at the Giants […]

Giants Blast 13 Homers as They Spoil the White Sox Opening Series

At the beginning of the season, Giants’ President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi told KNBR that this Giants team would be capable of leading the league in homers. Most dismissed that as wishful thinking, thinking there was no way a team that was 81-81 the year before could rebound so quickly without any headliner signings. […]

As a scorned Red Sox fan, I know that Eovaldi's first start was a fluke. Betting on a lot of runs today in Chicago.

Picks of the Day, 4/7

2-1 yesterday, for a nice change. Freddie Freeman covered his total bases early, and the 11 run line in Colorado came way, way, under. Unfortunately the pitchers duel in Atlanta didn’t materialize. Strider was ok, but Snell had a rough start, and they went over the 8.5 run line in the top of the eighth […]

Picks of the Day, 4/6

1-1 Yesterday with a rainout. 5-9 on the season. Bryce Elder surprised everyone yesterday with a great performance against St. Louis. It sure feels like the Cardinals may have quit in skipper Oli Marmol. Lots of rainouts today. Here we go:Pick#1Padres @ Braves (7:10), Under 8.5runs, +100Snell vs Strider. Best game of the year so […]

Picks of the Day, 4/4

A third consecutive 1-2 day. Houston and Cleveland losing to the two worst teams in baseball is tough. Good news is, my reach pick hit at +468 to save the day when Mike Yastrzemski homered. Sitting at 3-6 now, and taking a conservative approach today to get back on track. Pick#1Yankees -1.5 over Phillies, +130 […]

Injuries and Roster Moves: Bart to IL, Hjelle Recalled

When Joey Bart was set to make his season debut, his manager Gabe Kapler re-iterated to reporters that the Giants wanted to see Bart go out there and run away with the position. Soon after, Bart tweaked his back during batting practice and was scratched from the lineup, and was replaced by Roberto Perez. The […]
